It was the summer of sixty-fourWe ran the streets on to the shoreAnd in every game we played we knew we had it madeLike no other time before.I was just a manYou were still a childTwo hearts that were running wildThere was no need to pretendYou became more than a friendThey were days without an end.We laughed where we playedWe made love where we laidIn the light again we'd run.When the night called the tuneWe'd shoot at the moonAnd laugh at what we'd done.We were hearts of fireDo you remember itMy friendWe didn't think that it would end.Together then we ranThis boy became a man.They burn on those hearts of fireThey burn on those hearts of fireHearts of fire!And by seventy-two I was running freeIt was just the way I wanted to beI thought I'd left our love for deadBut my heart it ruled my headAnd I fell in love instead!We fought where we playedWe made love where we laidJust like the time before.And if the battle should start to tear us apartWe won't go to war no more.We were hearts of fireDo you remember itMy friendWe didn't think that it would end.Together then we ranTurn a boy into a man.They burn on those hearts of fireThey burn on those hearts of fireThey burn on those hearts of fireHearts of fire!We were hearts of fire
